Dysregulations of cholesterol biosynthesis are known to be associated with several pathologies. Due to the rapid growth of clinical investigations in this research area, a specific, fast, and valid method for analyzing cholesterol, its precursors, and metabolites is required.

摘要

Dysregulations of cholesterol biosynthesis are known to be associated with several pathologies. Due to the rapid growth of clinical investigations in this research area, a specific, fast, and valid method for analyzing cholesterol, its precursors, and metabolites is required. Here, we describe a rapid method for sample preparation, separation, and quantification of sterols in blood-derived samples using polymeric solid phase extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The validated method demonstrates a reliable quantification of cholesterol, its precursors, and metabolites.
